Lord Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Preysshure... I've heard him use that atleast 212 times so far... its prezzure:headshake:
Needforspeed Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Its not just his accent. His observations are so pedestrian and cliched. He adds absolutely no value. I hope this is his last stint in the commentary box.
Mandrake Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Laxman and Dravid should be better off as batting coaches-both are pathetic commentators
Precambrian Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Everything that's wrong with our educational system.. apparently he is a well educated fella..
Lord Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Everything that's wrong with our educational system.. apparently he is a well educated fella.. lol how does one assess one's educational qualications on cricket commentary
urbestfriend Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Everything that's wrong with our educational system.. apparently he is a well educated fella.. What are you smoking dude? What has his commentary to do with our educational system. Btw, there is already a thread for vvs commentary, why do you want to open a new thread to swear a great.?
Straight Drive Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Is every Indian laughing at Laxman's English skills the way Western people laugh off at Asian's English skills. Like they say what goes around comes around. He's there because of his cricketing abilities. So are Wasim and Sanjay. Would everyone rather prefer some commie with Masters in English Literature but having no clue about cricket.

puneet28 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Dravid and Ganguly are okay. But Laxman is just pathetic. Neither in english nor in Hindi. I don't see him anymore as commentator in future.
Texy Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 It's NOT his accent... It's his pronunciation....undred awkeye prezzure Pedestrian expert opinion.... Makes me want to shove a screwdriver in my ear
ganeshran Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 He knows the game well, but has a heavy accent which is not the end of the world IMO. The problem is that his commentary is not smooth and pauses a lot between two words which break the flow. He will get better with practice, just needs some time and maybe could do commentary in domestic games
Vilander Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 no original observations + very poor pronunciation means laxman <<< sastri uncle and thats really poor cause he makes sastri uncle look good.
SLICKR392 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Laxman and Dravid should be better off as batting coaches-both are pathetic commentators ? Dravid was better than Ganguly.
NareshK Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 He will get better with time. He is a legend of the game and has lots of experience and has good knowledge. As a beginning commentator, one needs to get used to little things like finishing a sentence just before a bowler bowls or completing what he wants to say before the over is finished, not repeating what the viewer is seeing, not stuttering and having a nice flow of words etc. When he learns this stuff, he will become better.
adi B Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 He knows the game well, but has a heavy accent which is not the end of the world IMO. The problem is that his commentary is not smooth and pauses a lot between two words which break the flow. He will get better with practice, just needs some time and maybe could do commentary in domestic games yeah just like players even commies should go on a domestic stint maybe for a season :giggle:
adi B Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 ? Dravid was better than Ganguly. huh?dravid is a poor commie,dada`s much better than both in the box but even he needs to improve a lot
SLICKR392 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 huh?dravid is a poor commie' date='dada`s much better than both in the box but even he needs to improve a lot[/quote'] Yea right. Dravid's comm was more focused and was good to listen as well. Dada shows his obsession towards a player way too much.
FreakazoiD Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 IMHO Laxman is not bad. He offers valuable insight into the Indian test team and the logic behind Dhoni's on field decisions - having played a reasonable amount of time under Dhoni, he would know. Certainly more than ICF keyboard champs who claim to understand every facet of Dhoni's personality and captaincy purely based on television viewership... Same goes for Dravid
